Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

SynGenSys, a biotechnology company designing synthetic gene promoter systems to address critical bottlenecks in biopharma manufacturing and enhance cell and gene therapy development, today announced ...

Researchers reckon it could dramatically accelerate understanding of how DNA influences disease, cancer, and drug discovery.

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Life Biosciences is pushing cellular rejuvenation into the clinic with ER-100, an experimental gene ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...
